Step

Footprint in stone earliest Scottish kings used for ceremonial marriage to the land.
The Great Glen, Scotland

Step
6/5/10

Just footprint in sand
our lives wash away
into ocean of unknown
forgotten human being ancestors
creating lineage before us,
while each individual life
becomes the continuing thread
connected to future waves
by experiences we share,
remember, and pass down,
stories repeated in families,
different than headline news,
instead teaching about love,
kindness, risking, trials, errors,
and resurrection so necessary
from every small death
often known as failure
which paves the way
for eventual next step.
